Increasing temperature and changes in water dynamics are bringing uncertainty regarding the future productivity of boreal forests, even in the absence of stand-replacing disturbances. There is...

Forest canopy vertical layering influences stand development and yield and is critical information for forest management planning and wood supply analysis. It is also relevant for other applications...

Jusqu'à maintenant, beaucoup de recherche et de projets de restauratlon de sites miniers abandonnées partout à travers le monde ont été réalisés et la plupart d'entre eux portent en fait sur la...

Cone penetration resistence as a measure of compaction was used to evaluate minespoils from the Luscar geological formation of the Alberta Rocky Mountain Foothills across the plant available moisture...

Oil sands processing operations in northeastern Alberta generate 25 x 106 m3 of water-fines mixtures (sludge) per year. The fines settle in several weeks but will not consolidate to more than 35%...

Between 1979 and 1988, The Plains Hydrology and Reclamation Project (PHRP) studied the impacts of surface coal mining in the plains of Alberta on the agricultural capability and hydrology of reclaimed...

The Alberta Research Council has conducted a reclamation research program near Grande Cache, Alberta in conjunction with the surface mining operations of Smoky River Coal Limited since 1972. Use of...

Soil samples from the rhizosphere of Poa alpina and Trisetum spicatum collected on Lookout Mountain, Banff National Park, Alberta contained at least 10 times more bacteria than the soil 3 cm away. The...

Poa alpina L. seeds germinated best under darkness and 16/8 h cycles of 22/l5°C temperature while Agropyron latiglume L. seeds needed a 29/22°C regime and darkness for best germination. Rapid...

Understanding the ecology of recovery processes allows effective restoration strategies for disturbed sites to be developed. Since pioneering species occur over broad ecological and geographic ranges...
